Adirondack Food & Wine Festival
Take your taste buds to Lake George for two days of local food, wine, beer and craft beverage makers.
The Adirondack Wine & Food Festival is back in Lake George for another great year, celebrating the region’s dedicated and talented food and beverage makers and local artisans. The Adirondack Winery founded the festival to create a vibrant event to increase awareness of New York's unique small and family-owned craft producers and their hand-crafted products.
2024’s festival is bigger than ever, with over 120 wine, beer, spirits, cider, non-alcoholic beverage makers, artisanal food producers and food trucks convening at Charles R. Wood Festival Commons, steps away from beautiful Lake George, the Queen of American Lakes. For you OG Lake George visitors, the Festival Commons stands where Gaslight Village once was (vo-do-deo-do — IYKYK).
Throughout the weekend, attendees will enjoy Culinary and Cocktail demonstrations and competitions under the Taste NY Culinary & Cocktail Tent. These segments feature the festival’s resident chef, Chef Eric Hudson (owner of Hudson’s Private Chef Services) and resident Mixologist, Kelli Hatin (owner of Mixaritas Mobile Bartending and SUNY Adirondack Business Professor), as they prepare food and drink made with ingredients supplied by Festival vendors.
The Adirondack Food & Wine Festival is bringing back the popular “Iron Chef”-style cooking and mixology competitions with secret ingredients from festival vendors.
New to this year’s festival is a “Food Truck Alley.” The event is expanding onto the adjacent Betty Little Boulevard with 15 food trucks and several local artisans and festival sponsors. Festival Entertainment is “amped up,” with a two-day lineup of local solo musicians arranged by 518 Rock. Plus, the impressive Street Magic of TJ Clancy and jaw-dropping stilt walking and aerial work from Jessica Black return, as well as a fun photo booth.
Eat good, drink good, do good: Adirondack Food & Wine Festival supports Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Southern Adirondacks.
For a fourth time, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Southern Adirondacks (BBBS) will return as the festival beneficiary. A portion of every ticket sold is donated to this incredible organization that provides mentorship, tutoring, and experiences to youth in Warren, Washington, and northern Saratoga counties.
BBBS operates the Drop-Off / Pick-Up Tent, where guests can “check” the beverages and foods they purchase at the festival until they are ready to leave.
The Adirondack Food & Wine Festival is one of BBBS’s most significant annual fundraising events – last year, the event raised over $23,000. Let’s top that in 2024.
